These scenarios did not happen. They were made up by an LLM.
The first set of scenarios were set up by me, in a single paragraph. The LLM wrote the stories.
Japanese Civil War
The Japanese Civil War (1951-1957) was a major internal conflict in Japan that emerged from the social, economic, and political upheaval following World War II. The Allied occupation, particularly the United States’ efforts to democratize Japan, inadvertently fostered the growth of socialist and communist movements. These movements, fueled by post-war economic hardship and disillusionment with the pre-war imperial regime, coalesced into the United People’s Front (UPF), a coalition of leftist parties and labor unions.
The UPF’s rise to power was facilitated by genuine democratic reforms instituted by the US occupation authorities. These reforms unintentionally unlocked and amplified powerful political forces that the occupation were not prepared to handle. A fair and free election saw the people choose their own future, in a way Washington planners had not foreseen.
The UPF advocated for radical land reform, the dissolution of the Zaibatsu (large industrial conglomerates), and nationalization of key industries. These policies resonated with a population weary of inequality and exploitation. In the 1951 national elections, the UPF secured a majority in the Diet, and Mosaburo Suzuki became Prime Minister.
However, the UPF’s socialist agenda sparked fierce opposition from right-wing elements, including imperialist ultranationalists, returning soldiers from the fallen empire, Yakuza syndicates, neo-monarchists, and fascist groups. These factions, fearing the loss of their power and privileges, organized into militias and paramilitary groups, leading to escalating violence and political instability.
The assassination attempt on Prime Minister Suzuki in February 1951 was a pivotal event that inflamed tensions and ultimately triggered the outbreak of the civil war in May 1951. The war was characterized by guerilla warfare, urban battles, and localized conflicts across the Japanese archipelago. The UPF, controlling major industrial centers and supported by the Soviet Union and China, held a significant advantage in terms of resources and manpower. The right-wing forces, however, benefited from covert aid from the United States and the support of rural populations resistant to socialist policies.
After years of bloody fighting and a stalemate, negotiations began in Geneva in 1956, mediated by the United Nations. The Geneva Accords, signed in 1957, partitioned Japan into two separate states: the People’s Republic of Japan, controlled by the UPF and aligned with the communist bloc, and Japan, a rump state controlled by a coalition of right-wing parties and supported by the Western powers. A demilitarized zone was established along the border, dividing the country and setting the stage for a prolonged Cold War rivalry in East Asia. The conflict had devastating consequences, leaving a lasting impact on Japanese society, economy, and political landscape.
As the war dragged on, the southern islands of Shikoku and Okinawa, initially battlegrounds, experienced a demographic shift. Refugees fleeing the mainland sought sanctuary there, and, exploiting the distraction of the main conflict, indigenous Okinawan and Shikoku resistance movements gained momentum, challenging the authority of both warring factions and complicating the geopolitical landscape. These groups had their own grievances against both the pre-war Japanese government and the post-war factions.
The East Asian Co-Prosperity War
The East Asian Co-Prosperity War (2028) was a brief but devastating conflict that reshaped the geopolitical landscape of East Asia. The war stemmed from a complex interplay of factors, including rising nationalism, economic tensions, ideological divisions, and territorial disputes. It exposed deep fissures within the US sphere of influence and underscored the challenges of maintaining stability in a region undergoing rapid social and political change.
Several factors contributed to the escalating tensions. The re-emergence of eugenicist theories from within the United States, particularly after the publication of “The Bell Curve 2.0”, sparked outrage and fears of racial supremacy across East Asia. This fueled anti-Western sentiment and provided ammunition for nationalist movements.
The rise of Asian forms of fascism, embodied in the Greater East Asia League (GEAL), further destabilized the region. The GEAL, a coalition of far-right groups, promoted a pan-Asianist ideology rooted in ethnonationalism and advocated for the expulsion of Western influence. Concurrently, the increasing popularity of socialist ideas, particularly among younger generations and marginalized communities, created a potent counterforce. Underground support for China, driven by economic opportunities and disillusionment with Western-style capitalism, added another layer of complexity.
Economic tensions, particularly the escalating trade war between the US and China, further exacerbated regional instability. Countries like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and the Philippines found themselves caught in the middle, pressured to choose sides and facing economic hardship as a result. Territorial disputes, such as the ongoing conflict over the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands, also contributed to the volatile atmosphere. Finally, the presence of US military bases, a constant source of controversy and resentment, became a lightning rod for anti-American sentiment.
The war began in April 2028 with the Manila Bay Bombing, an act of terrorism perpetrated by a private flotilla linked to the GEAL. The bombing, which targeted a Chinese cargo ship, triggered a swift response from Beijing, leading to a limited military intervention in the Philippines. The United States, hesitant to commit to a full-scale war, condemned China’s actions but stopped short of direct military intervention.
The conflict quickly spread across the region. The South Korean government collapsed amidst widespread protests and internal divisions, leading to a civil war between pro-GEAL and socialist-aligned factions. In Okinawa, right-wing militias launched an invasion, attempting to expel US forces and establish an independent state. The resulting battle was fierce and destructive, leaving the island devastated.
By December 2028, the war had reached a stalemate. Exhausted and facing mounting casualties, the warring parties agreed to an armistice, signed in Beijing. The armistice effectively froze the conflict along established battle lines, leaving the region fragmented and unstable. The future of East Asia remains uncertain, with multiple states vying for power and the ever-present threat of renewed conflict.
The Pacific Secession War
The Pacific Secession War (2029-2030) was a conflict sparked by the secession of California from the United States following the controversial election of President Randall Thompson. Thompson’s ultranationalist rhetoric and policies fueled fears of authoritarianism and discrimination, prompting California’s Governor, Gavin Newsom, to declare the state’s independence. This act triggered a chain of events that destabilized the western United States and drew in international actors.
The secession was driven by several factors. California’s robust economy, ranked among the top globally, provided the state with the resources to potentially sustain itself independently. A deep-seated cultural and political divergence from the increasingly conservative national government also played a significant role. Furthermore, strong local support networks, including “Chicanos,” women’s militias, some LGBT militias, and individuals involved in the drug trade (who feared increased federal enforcement), provided a base of resistance against federal intervention.
Following California’s declaration, Oregon and Washington joined the newly formed Pacific Alliance, creating a contiguous bloc of secessionist states. The United States government responded by attempting to seize federal assets within the PA territories, leading to armed clashes with state national guard units. The Battle of Edwards Air Force Base was a pivotal early engagement, resulting in a PA victory and securing control of vital air resources.
Mexico’s recognition of the Pacific Alliance, motivated by economic interests and a desire to counter US influence in the region, provided crucial economic and logistical support. Hawaii, strategically located in the Pacific, declared neutrality to preserve trade relations with both sides.
The United States responded with economic sanctions, severely impacting the PA’s economy. Pacific Rim nations, concerned about regional instability and the potential disruption of trade routes, began providing covert support to the Pacific Alliance. This support included intelligence sharing, financial assistance, and the provision of limited military equipment.
In late 2029, the United States launched “Operation Golden Gate,” a major military offensive aimed at retaking California. However, the operation faced significant challenges, including logistical difficulties, fierce resistance from PA forces, and growing international condemnation of the conflict. By December, the offensive had stalled, resulting in a stalemate.
Under increasing international pressure, negotiations began in Geneva in early 2030. The Geneva Accords, signed in February, established a ceasefire and initiated a process for determining the future status of the Pacific Alliance. The war resulted in significant economic disruption, political polarization, and a reshaping of the geopolitical landscape of the Pacific Rim. The long-term consequences of the secession remained uncertain, with the future relationship between the United States and the Pacific Alliance still to be determined.
The ceasefire established by the Geneva Accords proved fragile. While formal negotiations continued, underlying tensions escalated, fueled by mass migrations and growing internal dissent within the United States. The influx of refugees, combined with the rise of anti-US sentiment, further destabilized the region, laying the groundwork for renewed conflict.
The power vacuum created by the Secession War and the perceived weakness of the US federal government emboldened extremist groups and militias. Fueled by ultranationalist ideologies and equipped with arms smuggled across state lines or seized from poorly guarded armories, these groups sought to carve out their own territories and overthrow what they viewed as an illegitimate regime, further destabilizing the American West.
As the United States grappled with internal strife, the militias operating along the PA border became increasingly fragmented. Ideological differences deepened, leading to a schism between culturally liberal groups, often called “rainbow brigades” due to their inclusive membership, and more culturally moderate factions known as “common sense” militias. This division further complicated the security landscape and opened opportunities for external actors to exploit the chaos. In response, disparate anti-PA factions coalesced to form the United Front, a coalition dedicated to destabilizing the Pacific Alliance and restoring US control. This group launched several incursions into PA territory, aiming to erode public support for the secession and provoke a military response.
The Corporate Armageddon
As the US influence wanes, a brutal conflict erupts between rival defense corporations vying for market dominance, plunging the nation into a state of internal warfare from 2042 to 2045.
The Corporate Armageddon (2042-2045) was a devastating conflict that engulfed the United States following the decline of its global influence. As US power waned, competition amongst defense corporations intensified, ultimately leading to open warfare. The primary drivers were the pursuit of market dominance and the desire to generate lucrative contracts amidst a shrinking international arms market.
The initial spark was the ‘Fort Worth Incident’ in January 2042, when Lockheed Martin’s security forces seized a General Dynamics research facility. This act triggered a cascade of escalations. The defense companies coalesced into two main factions. The Corporate Security Alliance (CSA), comprised of Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and General Atomics, faced off against General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon.
The conflict played out across the United States, with major battles occurring near corporate headquarters and key manufacturing facilities. Huntsville, Alabama, a hub for aerospace and defense contractors, became a frequent battleground. The CSA launched a raid on Colt Manufacturing to secure its weapon production, while General Dynamics targeted Lockheed Martin’s plant in Marietta and Boeing facilities near Seattle. The conflict was marked by the use of company-specific weaponry. Lockheed Martin deployed advanced aircraft and cybersecurity measures; Boeing employed aerial drones and logistical support; General Dynamics utilized armored vehicles and submarine warfare; and Raytheon fielded advanced missile systems.
By 2043, the conflict had reached a stalemate. The ‘Virginia Accord’ in September offered a brief respite, but negotiations quickly collapsed. The ensuing escalation led to the widespread deployment of autonomous drones, resulting in significant collateral damage in urban areas. The ‘Newport News Naval Confrontation’ highlighted the struggle for control of naval assets.
The ongoing conflict had a catastrophic impact on the US economy. Supply chains were disrupted, and civil unrest grew as states began to operate independently. In 2045, remnants of the US National Guard, along with local militias, intervened in Springfield, Massachusetts, attempting to secure the historic Springfield Armory. However, this drew them into the existing conflict, further destabilizing the region.
Finally, in June 2045, with both factions exhausted and facing internal challenges, representatives met in Baltimore and agreed to an armistice. The Corporate Armageddon officially ended with the signing of the Delaware Treaty in August 2045. The treaty established a demilitarized zone and divided the defense markets geographically, effectively carving up the United States into corporate fiefdoms. The Corporate Armageddon left a legacy of economic devastation, social fragmentation, and a dramatically altered political landscape.
The Second Korean Reunification War
The Second Korean Reunification War (2049) erupted a decade after the failed 2038 conflict, fueled by the Korean Reunification United Front (KRUF), a clandestine organization gaining international traction. Exploiting persistent US-China tensions and regional anti-imperialist sentiments, KRUF orchestrated a coordinated offensive aimed at unifying the Korean Peninsula.
The seeds of the conflict were sown with the formation of the Pan-Asian Solidarity Council (PASC) in March 2048. KRUF, operating from the shadows, brought together nationalist and socialist groups from Japan, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia. United by a shared desire for Korean reunification and anti-US sentiments, PASC provided KRUF with resources, training, and political support.
The war commenced on June 15, 2049, with Operation ‘Arirang,’ a sophisticated cyberattack crippling South Korean and, covertly, North Korean infrastructure. Coinciding with this, KRUF special forces conducted amphibious landings along the South Korean coast while NKPA units, infiltrated by KRUF elements, initiated a DMZ offensive.
Taking control of Daegu, KRUF declared the establishment of a unified Korean government, demanding the withdrawal of foreign forces. The United States, bound by treaty, mobilized forces, drawing condemnation from China, which deployed PLA units to North Korea, ostensibly for stability. The Battle of the Yellow Sea, a naval engagement between US and Chinese forces, further escalated tensions.
US and South Korean forces launched an offensive to retake Pyeongtaek, met with fierce resistance. International pressure mounted, leading to UN-mediated peace talks in Geneva. KRUF’s seizure of Jeju Island heightened the crisis, prompting a US naval blockade and further straining US-China relations.
The war concluded with the Geneva Accord on October 27, 2049. The agreement established a new DMZ, recognized KRUF, and mandated a phased withdrawal of foreign forces. While the future of a unified Korea remained uncertain, the Accord provided a framework for continued dialogue. The Second Korean Reunification War reshaped the geopolitical landscape of East Asia, highlighting the growing influence of regional actors and the limitations of traditional power dynamics.

Low-level conflict continues in some regions.
Wounded Knee Uprising
This was written by an older app, Alternate History.
I tried to get it to veer off into a fantastical battle of ghosts versus soldiers, based on the Ghost Dance belief. It didn’t really do that, but did develop a timeline with a separate Plains Indian Republic.
Battle of Wounded Knee (1890) The Battle of Wounded Knee, also known as the Wounded Knee Uprising, occurred on December 29, 1890, near Wounded Knee Creek on the Lakota Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. It began as an attempt by the United States Army’s 7th Cavalry Regiment to disarm a band of Lakota Ghost Dancers. The situation escalated dramatically and unexpectedly due to the alleged intervention of a religious figure and supernatural phenomena, resulting in significant casualties on both sides and marking a turning point in the Ghost Dance War.
Prelude to Conflict
Tensions were already high on the Lakota reservations due to widespread poverty, failed government promises, and the suppression of traditional religious practices. The Ghost Dance movement, promising a return to traditional ways and the removal of white settlers, had gained significant traction. The US government viewed the Ghost Dance as a threat and deployed troops to the reservations to maintain order. On December 28, 1890, the 7th Cavalry intercepted a group of Miniconjou Lakota led by Chief Spotted Elk (also known as Big Foot) near Wounded Knee Creek. The Lakota, mostly women and children, were escorted to a camp near the creek and placed under guard.
The Battle
On the morning of December 29th, soldiers began disarming the Lakota. Accounts differ as to who fired the first shot. However, what is universally acknowledged is that during the disarming process, a figure identified by many Lakota as a reincarnation of Jesus Christ materialized within the camp. He was described as a young Native American man. Simultaneously, numerous spectral figures, perceived as Lakota warriors from the past, manifested alongside him. These spectral warriors appeared armed with ethereal but undeniably functional weapons. These newly materialized “Ghost Soldiers,” as they were later dubbed by the press, engaged the 7th Cavalry in direct combat. Initial reports from surviving soldiers indicate that the ghost soldiers were highly skilled and seemingly impervious to bullets, though this was later attributed to the chaotic and fear-stricken atmosphere of the battle. Despite the initial shock and surprise, the 7th Cavalry, possessing superior numbers and artillery, responded with overwhelming force. The battle devolved into a brutal and chaotic melee, with both soldiers and ghost soldiers firing into the encampment where unarmed Lakota civilians remained. The US Army’s Hotchkiss guns fired indiscriminately, causing devastating casualties among both the Lakota and the spectral warriors. The battle lasted for approximately two hours. By its conclusion, Chief Spotted Elk and hundreds of Lakota men, women, and children were dead, along with a significant number of US soldiers. The ghost soldiers, having bought the Lakota time to escape, faded into the ether.
Aftermath and Investigation
The events at Wounded Knee sparked national outrage and debate. The US Army, facing accusations of excessive force and a botched disarmament, launched a formal investigation. While the investigation largely exonerated the commanding officers, citing the unexpected and violent nature of the “Ghost Soldier” intervention, it did acknowledge the disproportionate number of civilian casualties. The sudden appearance and disappearance of the spectral warriors were largely dismissed by official reports as mass hysteria and battlefield illusions. However, eyewitness testimonies from both Lakota and American soldiers, combined with photographic evidence depicting blurred, indistinct figures alongside the dead and wounded, ensured the “Ghost Soldier” narrative persisted.
Legacy
The Battle of Wounded Knee remains a deeply controversial and symbolic event in American history. It represents the culmination of the US government’s policy of forced assimilation and the brutal suppression of Native American culture and religion. The event solidified the Lakota peoples’ resistance to the United States government and spurred them into further action to fight for their rights and sovereignty. The “Ghost Soldier” phenomenon led to increased investigations of paranormal and spiritual events from the United States government, which continues to this day.
The Incel Battles
The Battle of the Guadalupe River
The Battle of the Guadalupe River marked a pivotal moment in the ongoing struggle against domestic extremism in the United States. In late October 2024, an alliance of incel militias, known as the Sons of Discontent, launched a surprise attack on San Jose, California, aiming to seize control of the city and establish a base of operations. The Sons of Discontent, secretly funded by right-wing figures Steve Bannon1 and Nick Fuentes, had amassed a significant arsenal, including a technologically advanced drone-based air force.
The Sons of Discontent planned their invasion meticulously, choosing Cupertino as their staging ground. However, their plans were compromised when a whistleblower leaked critical information to federal authorities. The FBI and California State Guard were immediately alerted and began reinforcing San Jose’s defenses.
On October 28, 2024, at dawn, the Sons of Discontent initiated their attack. A swarm of weaponized drones descended upon San Jose, targeting communication networks, power grids, and other vital infrastructure. While the drone attacks caused disruption and panic, the pre-emptive defensive measures minimized the damage. An emergency evacuation of downtown San Jose was initiated to protect civilian lives.
As the drone attacks unfolded, the Sons of Discontent’s ground forces advanced along Highway 101, intending to enter San Jose. However, they encountered fierce resistance along the Guadalupe River, where the California State Guard and local police units had established defensive positions. The initial firefight was intense, with both sides exchanging heavy gunfire.
Recognizing the gravity of the situation, the federal government deployed air support to the area. US Air Force F-35 fighters and electronic warfare units arrived to counter the drone threat and disrupt the Sons of Discontent’s communications. The F-35s engaged the drone swarm, systematically eliminating the aerial threat, while the electronic warfare units jammed the militia’s communication channels.
With air superiority secured, the California State Guard launched a counter-offensive, pushing back the Sons of Discontent along the Guadalupe River. Armored vehicles provided crucial support, allowing the state guard to break through the militia’s lines. The Sons of Discontent’s advance stalled, and their casualties began to mount.
Faced with overwhelming firepower and dwindling morale, the Sons of Discontent’s offensive began to unravel. Many militiamen deserted the battlefield, and the remaining forces were quickly routed. By late afternoon, the Sons of Discontent were in full retreat, abandoning their attempt to seize San Jose.
In the aftermath of the Battle of the Guadalupe River, authorities launched a massive manhunt, arresting hundreds of Sons of Discontent members and seizing their remaining weapons and equipment. The investigation into the militia’s funding and organization led to the arrests of Steve Bannon and Nick Fuentes on conspiracy charges. The battle served as a stark reminder of the threat posed by domestic extremism and the importance of vigilance and preparedness in safeguarding national security.
The Battle of Silicon Valley Freeway
The Battle of Silicon Valley Freeway, fought on March 14, 2027, was a pivotal clash in the escalating conflict between extremist militias and marginalized communities in the near-future United States. The battle stemmed from the chaotic aftermath of the failed ‘Sons of Discontent’ uprising, a misogynist extremist attack that had been put down years prior.
Following the ‘Sons of Discontent’ failure, extremist misogynists went underground and began a terror campaign against feminist organizers. In response, ‘Normie Armies’ were founded. These vigilante groups initially formed to protect feminists and combat misogynist violence. However, the ‘Normie Armies’ soon began targeting individuals deemed ‘unattractive,’ ‘disabled,’ or otherwise ‘undesirable,’ mirroring the very prejudice they initially opposed.12
Targeted communities resisted. The ‘Ugly Resistance’ emerged, uniting sex worker collectives like the ‘Siren Collective,’ disability rights groups such as the ‘Adaptive Defense League,’ and other marginalized individuals. These groups organized self-defense militias to protect themselves from the ‘Normie Armies.’ Incel cells infiltrated the Normie Armies and promoted eugenicist rhetoric, turning them into the ‘Be Normal’ militias.
The ‘Golden State Purity Brigade’ (GSPB), under the leadership of Commander Dale Harding, was a powerful ‘Be Normal’ militia. On March 14, 2027, the GSPB mobilized near Sunnyvale, California. Harding, influenced by incel elements within his ranks, ordered the GSPB to seize control of Highway 101, a critical artery of Silicon Valley. The GSPB aimed to ‘cleanse’ the region of ‘deviance’ and enforce a ‘return to traditional values.’
At 07:00 PST, GSPB forces established a blockade near the Lawrence Expressway interchange. They used armored civilian vehicles, barricades, and armed checkpoints to halt traffic. The GSPB announced their demands, calling for the dismantling of sex worker organizations, the forced relocation of disabled individuals, and the suppression of feminist activism.
The ‘Silicon Valley Solidarity’ (SVS), a coalition of feminist and ‘Ugly Resistance’ militias, mobilized in response to the GSPB blockade. Led by the ‘Siren Collective’ and the ‘Adaptive Defense League,’ SVS forces converged on Highway 101 to contest the GSPB’s control.
At 08:00 PST, the conflict began. SVS units engaged the GSPB in a series of skirmishes along the highway. The GSPB held the high ground and a heavy firepower advantage, including automatic weapons and improvised armored vehicles. SVS forces focused on mobility and tactical flexibility, using motorcycles, bicycles, and nimble modified cars to harass the GSPB lines.
A pivotal moment occurred at 09:00 PST when a GSPB-operated tanker truck, filled with flammable liquid, attempted to ram the SVS lines. SVS improvised explosives detonated, disabling the truck, causing a major fire and creating a massive roadblock that both amplified the chaos and blocked the highway.
The fighting then spilled into the adjacent office parks and residential areas. SVS units employed urban warfare tactics. The ‘Siren Collective’ used their knowledge of the terrain to outflank the GSPB, while the ‘Adaptive Defense League’ used mobility scooters and wheelchairs modified for combat to harass GSPB positions.
By 11:00 PST, SVS forces had achieved a breakthrough. They outflanked the GSPB’s main force near the Lawrence Expressway overpass, creating a breach in their lines. With their position compromised, the GSPB’s morale collapsed. Commander Harding was killed, and the ‘Golden State Purity Brigade’ disintegrated. Highway was eventually reopened.
The Battle of Silicon Valley Freeway demonstrated the volatile and complex nature of the ideological conflict, as the pursuit of safety lead to discrimination, and the need for self defense by the targeted groups spiraled out of control.
The North American Water Crisis
The North American Water Crisis (2027-2031) was a multi-national conflict primarily fought between the United States, Mexico, and to a lesser extent, Canada, over dwindling water resources in the American Southwest. The crisis was precipitated by a prolonged drought, exacerbated by climate change and unsustainable water management practices, leading to severe water scarcity in the region. The conflict began with localized disputes between states within the United States over access to the Colorado River. The situation escalated when Jared Mann, the Governor of Nevada, adopted a hard-line stance on water rights, further inflaming tensions. The deployment of state militias and the intervention of federal troops resulted in armed clashes and a breakdown of civil order.
Mexico became involved due to the impact of U.S. water diversion policies on its northern states, particularly Baja California. Concerns over water security and the perceived violation of international treaties led to the deployment of Mexican troops to the border region. Canada, while not directly involved in military engagements, played a significant role by imposing a water embargo on the United States, further straining the U.S. economy and exacerbating the water crisis.
The war was characterized by a mix of conventional military operations, militia activity, and sabotage. Key infrastructure, such as dams and water pipelines, became targets for both sides. The conflict also saw the rise of extremist groups advocating for radical solutions to the water crisis. Civilian populations suffered greatly due to water shortages, economic disruption, and displacement.
The armistice signed in Calgary in 2031 brought an end to the fighting. The agreement established the North American Water Commission, a joint body responsible for managing water resources in the region. While the commission has helped to stabilize the situation, the underlying issues of water scarcity and climate change remain a challenge for the future.
- Naming Bannon in my prompt was intentional. He figured out how to take Gamergate and turn it into a misogynist, incel-ish war against feminism. Likewise, the old incel forums were taken over by misogyny activists, and propagandized the people there, and urged them to accept patriarchy, and their low status within the patriarchy. In exchange they were given a kind of “suicide bomber” role within the a movement to reinforce patriarchy and destroy the gains of women seeking equality.
I don’t think the LLM was influenced by this in the direction I wanted. ↩︎ - I was trying really hard to produce a three-way dynamic, where the terrorist group, the misogynists, has taken up the flag of “incels”, who are more like a group of disabled people. When the “normies” start out defending the women from misogynist incels, they are attacking the terrorists for being “incel” more than for being misogynist (because normie culture is patriarchal and tolerates some misogyny). So in this story, I asked for a united front of disabled people, who, while not named “incels”, are society’s actual people marginalized away from romantic relationships. This includes sex workers, who are ostracized by “normie” society.
The LLM used the trope that the normies became like the people they were defending against, but I didn’t like that. The normies were always opposed to extreme misogyny, and virgins (or asexual people), whether combined in one persona, or separate.
My current thinking on this is influenced by Arha C on TikTok, who points out that the term “incel” conflates misogynists with autistic people, and is ableist. Megan Kelly also made the distinction in their 2021 paper , advocating for the terms “misogynist incel” and “male supremacy”. ↩︎
